Enthalpy of Solution

### Formula:

$$\Delta H_{solution}=\Delta H_{hydration}+\Delta H_{lattice}$$

### Terminologies:

- Ξ”H_solution β†’ Enthalpy change when solute dissolves in solvent.

- Ξ”H_hydration β†’ Energy released when ions interact with water molecules.

- Ξ”H_lattice β†’ Energy required to separate ions in crystal lattice.

### Usage:

- Used to study dissolution of ionic compounds.
